OK CHAVEZ, YOU'RE OFF MY GOOD LIST

Sheesh, way to blow it, Hugo. So, Chavez is this guy who got elected democratically by the poor folks in his country which seems to have been controlled by corporate money and corporate media. There was even a coup and a couple of recall attempts but none succeeded. The guy is clearly the man who should be leading Venezuela right now. The funny this is that the USG has been at least partially behind both the recalls and, some say, the coup attempt.

This has lead Chavez to believe that the US is out to get him because he's got oil. Well, I tend to agree with him. Christian televangelist and closetted hyper-business-man, Pat Robertson even called for Chavez's assassination.

Unfortunately, he's taken his whole anti-US thing too far. According to [http://www.guardian.co.uk/venezuela/story/0,12716,1605283,00.html|an article] at Guardian.co.uk, he's saying that Halloween is just an American terror game.

Right.

Hugo, you fricken idiot, it's just a thing for kids and adults to do to unwind. It has it's basis in a religion older than Christianity and has no basis in reality.

RELAX! Not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy to get you!

What's next? Santa is really an anti-Venezuelan assassin sent to kill you?

Chávez urges ban on US 'terror game' Halloween

President Hugo Chávez yesterday urged Venezuelan parents not to let their children dress up as witches and ghouls for Halloween, calling it a "game of terror" - a US custom with no place in the South American country's cultural traditions.

Speaking during his weekly radio and television show, Mr Chávez said: "Families disguise their children as witches. That is contrary to our ways." A week ago, a dozen pumpkin lanterns and paper skeletons were left around the capital, Caracas, bearing anti-Chávez messages and what appeared to be bomb-like fuses.
